    Not really... Wolves are extremely confident they'll gain promotion and it would be hard to argue otherwise. It seems they're simply doing their business early. Bit of a gamble I guess but they look nailed on to me. In that regard spending PL transfer fee's now doesnt look so bad.

    Great move for them if true and as an outsider looking in things look really good for Wolves fans, they're buying young, highly talented players that will only increase in value.

    Anyone who thinks we shouldn't be looking for promising lower league players is off his rocker.

    Not really what? Do you mean this isn’t what we’re up against?

    If we were in their position we wouldn’t spend this amount so of course this is what we’re competing against.

    Wolves are the exception that proves the rule, they're going up and are already in Premier League mode, it's not indicative of Championship spending at all.

    I didn’t say it was indicative of Championship spending. They play in our competition so we’re competing with them.

    Newly promoted clubs spending £30m on a striker is unusual too!

    I'm not sure that's actually going to be all that unusual going forward.

    Especially 4 months before they’re newly promoted...

    It's probably a PR stunt anyway. He's 22 and was bought for €40M 6 months ago.

    Indeed, but he’s 3rd choice and hasn’t scored a Serie A goal yet while Meelan are in massive FFP ****.

    To be honest, although some of Wolves' spending has been crazy, it really hasn't been that bad. Neves was a bargain at £15m, they've got an option on Bonatini for £5m too. They've brought in a fair few expensive players, but all of which are young and they'll likely be able to sell most for a profit.

    The position they're in, effectively gives them 2 windows to build for the PL. It's a real luxury and wouldn't surprise me if they bring in a couple of really good players

    Why should we be looking for lower league players? They're obviously not good enough or else they wouldn't be playing in the lower leagues.

    It would be nice, but I suspect Rick's going to be disappointed...

    Rick‏ @HullCityLive
    My #hcafc wishlist:

    Centre half - Ugly, experienced.
    Full back - versatile, know how.
    Winger - lightning.
    Striker - Big, relatively mobile.

    Being greedy - centre mid - box to box, dictator.

    Would let go at least Henriksen, Marshall, Dio, Hector.
